I just set a dozen Swedish Flower Hens and 3 of my own girls, due April 29th. OH, can't wait for these little beauties.

I should be getting SFH eggs this week...
Very cool!! I have 3 hens and got a couple cockerels that need to grow up some more and then hopefully I'll be able to hatch out some babies. I love these chickens!! They are not just pretty, but good egg layers, too. Can you share who you got your eggs from??
Set 42 eggs this morning. 18 are from mindylee's beautiful, colorful cochins and the rest are from my own birds. I have 2 cochin roos, one is a black mottled and I'm not sure what you'd call Mr Fancy Pants.. calico maybe? I have 2 blue cochin hens and 3 bearded mille d'uccle hens. Curious to see how the cochins cross with the d'uccles.
I candled the 6 eggs tonight that are 8 days from hatching (my first ever batch) and all six look great. I could see chicks moving in all of them. (These 6 are from my birds) I got anxious and threw 6 eggs in the bator...not realizing that staggered hatches are bad. So, it just has 6. I ordered the other incubator because 1. The 1st one is being loaned to me and 2. I'm hooked! Couldn't wait to fill one right up full of eggs!
Here's what's cookin!

I am crossing my fingers that the 6 I have continue to progress and hatch ok and I'm super excited to see what happens with the ones I set this morning! (can you tell I'm a 1st timer)
